self-taught photographer.

they published her bird photography, and she has been internationally published with her beauty and
fashion work.

and Indiana. She is also a writer of poetry and prose, performing on stage at the Green Mill in
Chicago. In 2016, atself-published her first book, “Memories Evoked: The Batter Bowl to the
